FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, February 28, 2019) – The Kimmel Center Cultural Campus is delighted to welcome Grammy® nominated, multi-platinum international music group Celtic Woman back to the Academy of Music on Thursday, April 4, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. as part of their new tour Ancient Land. In Ancient Land, Celtic Woman continues their tradition of excellence in telling stories through song: stories of the land, stories of love, and stories of dancing -- songs that bring a piece of Ireland to audiences everywhere.
“Celtic Woman has been dazzling audiences around the world since 2004,” said Anne Ewers, President and CEO of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. “With its return to the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus, audiences can expect a brand-new stage production with the same level of artistry to which they are accustomed, sweeping them off to new cultural experiences.”
Ancient Land is the group’s thirteenth studio album, and features all new material, including original compositions, traditional Irish songs, and reimagined contemporary songs. For the album tour, Celtic Woman expertly combines the finest Irish musical talent with epic stage productions for a live experience unlike any other. The performance is a love letter to Ireland, celebrating the country’s rich musical and cultural heritage through every breathtaking number.
Other featured upcoming performances at the Kimmel Center Cultural Campus include: KODO: Evolution (March 12, 2019, Verizon Hall), Monterey Jazz Festival (March 23, 2019, Verizon Hall), Nathan Laube (March 31, 2019, Verizon Hall), and Glen Hansard: This Wild Willing Tour (May 31, 2019, Merriam Theater).
